Care That Connects

CareSource Marketplace plans are simple and reliable with coverage for pre-existing conditions and no annual or lifetime dollar limits for essential health benefits. Every plan also includes pediatric vision benefits, plus our optional adult vision through EyeMed® and fitness benefits.

So, if you need health insurance this open enrollment period, CareSource can help. We’ve been helping our members through uncertain times for over 30 years. We are here when you need us. Your health is affected by so many things in your life. It all connects. That’s why we provide health benefits AND so much more.

EXTRA WAYS TO SAVE MONEY

**Over 70% of people who enroll in a CareSource Health Insurance Marketplace plan also qualify for a government-funded subsidy that substantially lowers the overall cost of the plan. When you enroll, you’ll see if you qualify. Eligibility for these funds is determined by the Health Insurance Marketplace, and not by CareSource. There are two ways in which the funds are distributed:

Advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC)

A tax credit based on income level that lowers monthly premium payments. This can be used no matter which plan you enroll in.

Cost-Sharing Reduction (CSR)

CSRs are discounts or “extra savings” that lower the amount you have to pay for deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. CSRs only apply to Silver plans†, so if you qualify for CSR and want to take advantage of the savings, you must enroll in a Silver plan.

While APTCs will be reducing in plan year ’26, they will still be available for members. There will be no changes to CSRs.

LOW PREMIUM BRONZE OPTION

While a lean plan design, this plan option still provides better than going uninsured.

OFF EXCHANGE ONLY

CareSource now offers Off Exchange health insurance plans – coverage you can buy directly from us, outside the usual government exchanges. These plans expand your choices and may provide more affordable options if you don’t qualify for subsidies (like APTC or CSR).

With Off Exchange and Off Exchange Only plans, you can pick the plan that fits your needs and budget best, without extra hassle of going through the exchange. Benefits:

1. Wider Plan Selection – All On Exchange plans are also available Off Exchange, plus Off Exchange Only plans that you won’t find on the exchange, giving you more options to find the perfect fit.

These plans let you pick the insurance that fits your needs, while your employer helps cover the cost through reimbursement. That means you get personalized, affordable coverage with the freedom to choose what works best for you—all while staying compliant with important healthcare rules.
